A Lover's Regret

A Lover’s Regret Never appreciated you, I did, until you were gone. You gave me all and I gave you nothing. I long for you, like a troubled soul longs for dawn. I do not deserve the holy essence of your being. You were patient and forgiving, loving and tender; I long for a glance into your beautiful black eyes. Always generous and warm, you were; never a pretender. A week is all we had; never enough; bittersweet goodbyes. I long for a kiss from your sweet lips. You make me want to be a better man. I long for your slender waist to hold, which floats and dips. All I need is to be with you, so meticulously, I dwell and plan. All I need is one more chance. I will undo my wrongs and honor our timeless romance.
